Ignore stock options. Unless whatever they call options - can be sold for cash (possibly after vesting) in an opened market.
If not - consider it's $0 value.
Re-compare everything afterwards. $10k signing bonus is not a biggie compare to consistent +$20k base.
Bigger premium for health insurance may mean bigger benefits - but make sure to dig that.
Free lunch saves you $10/day - multiply it by 200 - and here's another $2k after taxes or $3k before taxes.
Also - regardless of everything - which place feels more fun to work at?
